Threaded / unthreaded SMS

Hey peeps
I've found this registry tweak in the Kaiser forums, but worked like a charm on my original Iolite too:

You have to create the OEM folder yourself but apart from that it seems to work okay.

I didn't even had to reset or delete my device to see the changes. Just close all programs and I made the tweak with Total Commander (from Ghisler).

U can dissolve this with advancedconfig 3.3
.NET 3.5 must be installed.
Greetings Mirko

one step ahead
Thx for the information.
After adding the reg key, my device playes the "new sms arrived" sound. Great.
But if I miss the sound, or the ringer is turned completely off, I do not see an indication for the new message unless I manually activate the screen.
I would also like to have the LED (on the top of the device) indicating that there is a new unread message.
Any idea?
Greetings!

The iolite have only one LED, the other is a light-sensor to correct the brightness automatically.
Try this: Start - Settings - Sounds & Notifications.

Thanks a lot for this nice hint!
I really started to dislike the threaded way already.
But I had to reset my Iolite to swap to unthreaded sms.

Screen On when SMS recieved

On friday my trusty MPV M3100 decided to give up the ghost, so as I was in London I decided to look for a new phone and picked up an Touch Diamond 2.
And I have to say; I love it.
Best phone I've had and even the lack of a hardware keyboard hasn't bothered me.
There is only one thing which has caused me some bother; on all my previous phones when an sms/mms has been recieved the screen will turn on for a while to alert me of this, however I can't find a way to do the same thing with the TD2.
The reason I would like this is down to me mostly leaving my phone on silent but in line of sight. The silent factor is because I'm often doing things with headphones on (such as at work) and I'm not going to hear the tone anyways.
So, while the green light is nice and all being able to have the screen turn on as an option would be nice..
As a coder by trade I've been poking around to see what I could do to let me do this myself, however if someone has a better solution or knows of an app which can already do it then I'd appricate it if they could tell me

There is a setting in:
All Settings->Personal->Sounds & Notifications->Notifications
Then select Messaging: New Text Message from the drop down list, and there is an option there "Flash Light For: x Minutes"
This might be what you're looking for?

thanks for the reply, however I'd already found that option and it only effects the green light which flashes when you get a messag; nice and stuble in keeping with the device but not what I'm after

Look for this registry value
HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\RIL\DisableSMSWakeUpEvent
It should be 1, set it to 0

ah, excellent, thanks

just curious what program you guys are using to edit registry values...
sorry if this is a stupid question, but i'm new to Windows Mobile.. up until the D2 i've always have symbian phones.

I just did a google for "win mobile reg editor" and installed PHM Regedit to do the job.
Although I'm going to write a quick app to let me toggle this particular setting I think (i'll probably post the resulting cab/exe here encased others want it)

I'm using Total Commander (I just started editing the registry). What do you guys use for making a CAB file?

Thank Oruam, great tweak.
I currently have the option selected to display a new sms message on screen as soon as it arrives, is it possible when i hit reply to get the device to go to the touch flow threaded messaging system rather than the WM6.1 default?

Thanks guys!
Is there any way to have it vibrate & play a sound, but not enable the touch screen? The reason I ask is that I dont want the screen to come on while it's in my pocket etc, and things start to get accidentally pressed!

Awesome! Thanks!

I'm sorry ormz.
I'm interesting for that option to have flash light blinking when sms/mail arrives, unfortunately I haven't got the option you mentioned into my settings referred to "new SMS".
I've got the original rom installed (italian version).
May I arrange same setting/option into register also if I haven't it on display?
Could someone help me?

lock the device:
"real lock" - press the hang button (the one on the right) until it shows unlock at the bottom left side
stand-by - press the power button only for 1 second and the screen will go off. When receiving a message, the screen stays black. To see menu-s again, press again power button for 1 second

someone could tell me how to make it works with email event?

You know this is an old thread, right?

Official Rom Update

Hi all
I am kind of new to this, so I hope I have put the thread in the right place. I have searched for some of the answers, but can not find them, or the threads are 100s of pages long and knowing where to look is a nightmare.
I decided to update my phone with the latest official HTC Roms from their website (2.53.405.5 (76952) WWE). Unfortunately there are a few things that I like the old way, and now I am not sure if I can go back to the original Rom that came with the phone.
- I now can not use custom sounds for my message alerts, I have put them with all the others, and made them to be the same file size, mono and all that, and they don't show up. I can use them for ring tones, but not message alerts.
- I used to have the message alert light set to constantly flash until I had read the message, so if I am away from the phone I could tell I have a message. That bit is still there, but it is grayed out so I can't have it.
- When I lock, unlock the phone, go through the menus and go back to the "Today" screen the clock will go from say 10:13, to 09:13, then will roll forward to 10:11 and then the last two minute digits will roll over to 10:12, 10:13 again? Why is this.
- Is there any way of removing the weather from the "Today" screen, it looks very nice, but the phone seems to come to a grinding halt and that added with the time thing mentioned above is also very irritating.
If anyone knows ways around these it would be much appreciated, if not is there a way of returning to the original Rom that the phone came with, I notice the HTC website said it was not possible.
Thanks in advance.

Hi spigot, thanks for the help.
I have installed the cab for the silly rolling animation, and that has sorted that out.
I have installed a program called FdcSoft TaskMgr wm2005_3.1 to alter the registry values, and have found the "AvailableOptions" one, but don't seem to be able to alter it.

Drop the sounds you want for messages directly into thw windows folder. they will be available.

Thank you codhunter, it worked .
Not sure why they would change it between roms / versions, it used to go in the tones or whatever it was called with my original one.
Also your changing the value in available options to 15 for the message LED notification worked, couldn't work spigots out above.
Thanks

Glad to be of help
i'm just learning too, SQueal. Stick with the new rom. any problems you have will soon get ironed out with the helpful guys on here!!!

SQueal: Try to use TotalCommander with it's plugin registry editor. I did it many times without any problem.
To remove weather from today tab look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=656240

how can I enter the registry with totalCommander?

You must download the plugin registry editor, using Total commander's settlings.

You don't need any plugins. Registry editor is part of total commander. If you press "\" button in uppert right corner (in total commander), you'll get to root part and the first folder is called "\\Plugins", there you can find FTP, LAN and registry editor plugins.

Has anyone else noticed how much smaller the sms text message is? You have the ability to change the text size for the ones you read, and the one in with the screen alignment, but the text still seems really small.
Is there a way of doing this in the registry as well?

Display switched on when new sms arrives.

First of all, excuse me for my english cause im italian.
Do u know if there is a way (like a registry mod) to make the x2 display switched on when a new sms (or mms) arrives?
Thank u.

Already is possible
Just go into Settings -> Personal -> Sounds...
And go to alerts... there you just click on new textmessage and you can choose to turn on light on arrival.

display on, not notification lights

Besides which the notificaton lights don't work properly anyway. Anyone know a reg fix for this?

this is one of the main things a lot of people have been waiting for. sad that theyve not bothered to fix this. the X1 did it fine.
the phone wakes up when theres an incoming call... i wonder if someone good at programming can somehow use that as a template and apply it to sms messaging...

Ive tried so many apps and also tried to set "1", instead of "0", in the key HKLM/Drivers/BuiltIn/RIL/DisableSMSWakeUpEvent (that i think its the key that is modified by applications), but.... nothing happened!

maybe theres more than one registry event that affects it.

Its possible, but.... what are they???

Led notitification on new email event

Hi all,
i have an htc hd2 with the original windows mobile 6.5 rom (italian).
As I have written in the subject, is there the possibility to activate the led notification when a new email arrives?
With an "app"/mod or simply editing some keyword into the windows registry?
Many thanks

no help?
:/

i am writing this from my memory, so i'm sorry i can't be very clear about the exact steps.
press the Start button, look for "Settings". you might have to find "All Settings". once there, look for something like "Sounds & Notifications".
in the sounds and notifications settings, there will be a combo box where you can choose the event you want to configure. in your case, you want to configure the "new email" event. so choose it from the combo box.
once you've chosen the event, its current configuration will be populated in the bottom half of the screen. one of those settings will be something like "Flash light for" against which you can give a value like "disabled", "1 minute", "2 minutes", so on.
the above instructions might be a bit ambiguous but i KNOW for a fact that WM6.5 can do exactly what you desire in this thread.

Hi and thanks for your answer.
I watched this setting before writing this post and unfortunately in that tab there isn't any check relating "Flash light" or something similar.
...and it's strange 'cause for example when a new sms arrives, the led blinks. And selecting in the combo the voice "New text message" the voice "Flash light" still doesn't appear...
I'm confused

Incredible...
I have watched on my "old" tytn with wm6.0 and this setting is present.
No one knows if there is some key into the wm registry?
Maaany thanks

Have it on my NRG ROM.
Have a look into BSB Tweaks app as this has some LED Notification adding options.
Will look into my registry & see what I can find.
It is indead as easy as adding reg keys ...
do a search as got to be a few threads on this but as always XDA search is ****e, best doing direct in Google.

Adding registry or adjusting current "AvailableOptions" Dword value should do the trick .

Copy your complete registry (CEReg Editor) for Notifications & post it so we can take a look.
All works on mine & as registry based should on yours if done right ...

no solutions?

Try manually changing dword values as shown below.
Example is based on new email key;
Your current values are:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"Options"=dword:0000000d
"Duration"=dword:00000005
"AvailableOptions"=dword:0000000f
"Wave"="\\Windows\\Alert-Twitter.wav"
@="Messaggi: Nuovo messaggio e-mail"
My working values are:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Notifications\{A877D65A-239C-47a7-9304-0D347F580408}]
"Options"=dword:00000005
"AvailableOptions"=dword:00000000
"Wave"="\\Windows\\Alert-Notify.wav"
@="Messaging: New e-mail message"
"Duration"=dword:00000000
change the "Options" value= 5 "AvailableOptions" value= 0 & "Duration" value= 0 and see if you can get it working.
You could also try copying your values from a notification that has correct LED function if above values do not work.
Also compare check box status box availability (greyed out) in sound settings for the key you adjust before & after adjustment to see if changes are showing.
Could always be a bug with something else on your ROM causing issue even when registry is correct ! perhaps !!

if you feel a bit adventurous, there are many guides here on how to change your rom.
you can choose to stay with WM6.5 if you want, in which case i would suggest looking in the HD2 WM6.5 development forum and try out NRGZ's "energy" rom.
and you have a whole lot of other more "modern" options like android and WP7, etc.
i know for a fact that all of the above options will give you the kind of notification options you desire! i used the stock WM6.5 only for the first 2-3 months after buying an HD2. then i switched to NRGZ's WM6.5 roms, and then i switched to SD android (the only kind of android available for HD2 at that time) and then finally to NAND android when magldr was launched in Dec 2010. when i used WM6.5, i used NRGZ's rom longer and later than the stock rom, so thats where i remember seeing the option for new email notification with led flash.

I too can recommend NRG 6.5.x ROMs, huge improvement from standard factory ROMs & for me so good I have not bothered with Android.

Thanks to everybody for the support!
Does the NRG 6.5.x ROM have italian language?

Yes. 29022 is latest 6.5.x build available in Italian & several choices such as close to stock or themed & with or without sense & CHT mod ...
Make sure you read up on requirements prior to flashing & follow tips such as hard reset after initial flash & first boot, small points but make big difference to bug free running ...

Good!
Now i have only to find "a little" of free time to read, flash and... reinstall again all my applications...
